Experience Disney’s New 2025 ‘Encanto’ Adventure Trip to Colombia

1. Introduction

Disney is inviting guests to go “set-jetting” to see the real-life destinations that inspired “Encanto.”

2. New Adventures by Disney Itinerary

Disney just announced three new Adventures by Disney itineraries for 2024, including an extraordinary trip to Colombia inspired by the beloved Walt Disney Animation Studios film “Encanto.” This “set-jetting” experience invites guests to explore Colombia’s incredible landscapes and immerse themselves in the country’s rich cultures to witness the inspiration behind the movie.

3. Itinerary Highlights

The eight-day, seven-night trip will include:

• Guided tours in Bogota
• A visit to a coffee farm
• An arepa-making class
• Time in vibrant Cartagena
• Trekking through a dry forest
• Snorkeling among the Rosario Islands

Furthermore, guests traveling on the inaugural Adventures by Disney Colombia season will receive a signed lithograph featuring “Encanto” visual development art.

4. Insight from the Creators

In a statement shared with iBestTravel, “Encanto” directors Byron Howard and Jared Bush expressed their hopes. They stated, “Our hope was always that ‘Encanto’ could celebrate the many different people and cultures we experienced in Colombia. We are thrilled and touched that so many people have felt seen by the Madrigals’ story and now have this opportunity to experience its magic for themselves.”

5. Trip Development

Chantel Pevey, the lead trip developer for this itinerary, traveled to Colombia to craft the perfect adventure that would immerse families in the country and the enchanting world of “Encanto.”

She noted, “When we see inside the character Antonio’s room, we glimpse amazing wildlife and tropical plants inspired by the second most biodiverse country in the world—some of which guests might be lucky to spot during their adventure. The Madrigal family home is a detailed representation of the colorful architecture found in the Coffee Region and Cartagena. The rhythms that inspired a soundtrack might just have guests dancing as they wander the cobbled streets of a Colombian town! We hope fans of ‘Encanto’ are inspired to ‘set-jet’ to Colombia and see just how magical a place it truly is.”

6. Other Itineraries

Disney is also introducing an eight-day trip to Canada’s Atlantic Coast and Maritime Provinces, where guests will visit a maple syrup farm in Nova Scotia, learn about Indigenous culture, and enjoy outdoor water activities against breathtaking backdrops. Moreover, an improved New Zealand itinerary will showcase the country’s stunning nature, charming small towns, and vibrant cities on a 12-day adventure.
